A.  Homelessness -- General

1.  The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development's (HUD's) Information & Resources:

Surfing around HUD's excellent web pages can be
a little challenging -- first because they have so much
stuff, and second because some of their older sites
still seem to be on-line, sometimes making it difficult
to tell what's outdated and what's current.  Here are
the results of a brief attempt to begin sorting it out:

HUD Homeless Assistance
including links to:
Programs, News, Homeless Management Information
Stategies, How Do I Apply?, Laws and Regulations,
Allocations/Appropriations

HUD Homeless Assistance Library
including links to:
Continuum of Care, Supportive Housing Program, Shelter
Plus Care Program, Single Room Occupancy Program,
Emergency Shelter Grants Program, and Homeless
Programs Materials in Spanish

HUD Library Bookshelf 06 -- Homeless

HUD Competitively Awarded Programs

HUD Homeless Resource Directory
